If your client runs on Windows there is a couple of things you need to be aware of.

You need to:

  • use a Hadoop version of 2.4.0 or later since that's when these issues were first fixed.

  • set an extra configuration option of:

    mapreduce.app-submission.cross-platform=true

-- download the winutils.exe from http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/hdp-win-alpha/winutils.exe -- create a Hadoop home directory -- place winutils.exe in a bin under that Hadoop home directory -- use a system property -Dhadoop.home.dir to point to that Hadoop home directory when you start the Java process -- you can use and environment variable named JAVA_OPTS if you are running Spring XD or a batch file generated by the Maven appassembler plugin.
